Good day. My friend, a foreign national with a disability who uses a wheelchair, requires long-term personal assistance and holds a valid multiple-entry L visa. She does not work in China and has her own financial resources. As this has become a long-term personal-support situation, we would like to ensure she has the correct immigration status. Could you please advise whether she may qualify for another visa, stay permit, or residence permit based on personal affairs? Thank you. |
